Just bought this today for a mere £850, in brand new condition:

It's been a long, long time since I posted and I'd given up on owning a Ric until I spotted this by chance in a classified ad :D I love it. Sorry about the poor lighting on my pics, I was too excited to take good ones.

Steven, while I'm not a fan of blue guitars, I have to admit that RIC really does a nice job on the shading, tinting, etc. And yours is a textbook example of their work. Congrats man, she's a beauty.

IMO that's one of the sharpest looking guitars ever built!!

Thanks guys :)

The guitar is in perfect condition, all the case candy is untouched and the keys are still sealed in their envelope, the polishing cloth is also unused. The guy that I bought it from said that he only played it a few times due to his hands being too big, I guess his disadvantage is my advantage because my hands are small...

This week has passed by so slowly, every day I was desperate to post on the forum with 'I'm getting a Ric!' but I knew I should wait until I had it so I could show the pics off. Hopefully this will not be my last Rickenbacker, next on the agenda: a 360 or 360/12 (BBR, of course :wink: )
